And we are off! Once again it is like a large army is on a high tech cavalry caravan. Pretty much the same routine as getting ready for the other shows, 14 hour days leading up to it are no big deal. We did add some extra work by deciding to body clip all four ponies. Lots of prickly hairs down the shirt, and many peach fuzz feeling ponies were the result.
Tonight we stay in Nebraska. How joyful that should be. I am pretty excited though as this will be my first cross the country trek. Next time, it will be with my dog and climbing gear.
But I did make it to Utah this last w week to get my boy Gilbert!! Thanks to my incredibly helpful, up for a road trip friend Brett who also supplies the truck and trailer. Forever grateful! It was pretty dang great to have some of mom and dads Sunday dinner. Gilbert was a perfect, sane, lovely gentlemen and loaded within 5 minutes. It is a whole new world working with a horse that hasn't been ruined, let me tell you. So he got in and out a few times and then we were on our way. He is so happy at Knox Farm and I am so thankful I have an awesome job where I can have my horses with me.
Updates will be many as we drive for the next three days and I have nothing else to do. Yay!
Oh and apparently I can't use technology and thought I published a post last week. Alas, now I have two today. Silly.
gil looks so B E A UTIFUL!!!
